Shinies? Just a palette swap. Same stats, just way rarer. Honestly, it's more about bragging rights than anything else.

Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Violet are super rare versions of the regular Pokémon but with different color schemes. The chance of encountering a Shiny in the wild is about 1 in 4,096 - tough odds! But, if you're into breeding, using the Masuda Method (breeding Pokémon from games of different languages) significantly boosts your chances. Also, don't forget about the Shiny Charm, an item that increases Shiny encounter rates once you complete your Pokédex. Happy hunting!

Caught my first Shiny in Violet after hours of grinding. It's all about patience and a bit of luck. Don't give up, trainers!
